What are cookies?
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how we use them, the types of cookies we use, i.e. what information we collect using cookies and how that information is used, as well as how to manage cookie settings.
Cookies are small text files used to store small amounts of information. They are saved on your device when the website loads in your browser. These cookies help us make the website work properly, be more secure, provide a better user experience, and allow us to understand its performance and analyse what works and what needs improvement.
How do we use cookies?
Like most online services, our website uses first-party and third-party cookies for various purposes. First-party cookies are mainly necessary for the site to work properly and do not collect any personally identifiable data.
The third-party cookies used on our website are mainly employed to understand how the website performs, how you interact with it, keep our services secure, offer you relevant advertising and, in general, provide you with a better user experience and help speed up your future interactions with our site.

Google may process this data outside the European Economic Area. Such transfers rely on the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. See the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites that use its services for details.
No Google tag is loaded before you accept. We apply Consent Mode v2 with all permissions denied by default, and Google Tag Manager is only downloaded if you give your consent. If you later withdraw it, we stop measuring and delete any analytics cookies that had been set.
